Port of Bergen

Bergen’s urban harbour combines passenger shipping with a regional cargo role. The waterfront around Vågen forms part of a broader city port extending along Byfjorden, with different quays serving cruise ships, coastal traffic and commercial freight.

Cargo activity is associated with Dokken and Jekteviken, where container handling and trailer movements connect sea services with distribution ashore. Roll-on/roll-off facilities allow trailers to pass between the quay and vessels, while the surrounding terminal areas provide space for cargo collection and transfers.

Passenger shipping gives the city waterfront a second function. Bergen is a starting point for coastal voyages and receives cruise calls, bringing travellers into the city as freight moves through its working terminals. The close relationship between harbour and urban centre makes both passenger access and the organisation of cargo areas important features of the port.
